LONDON: Brexit Day is to be set in stone Wednesday when the European Parliament in Brussels casts a vote ratifying the terms of Britain’s divorce deal from the EU. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson insists that date will see Brexit “done”. “Brexit is a loss for us all,” European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic said after a regular EU ministers’ meeting on Tuesday. Brexit Party MEPs, with leader Nigel Farage at the fore, plan to celebrate in Brussels on Wednesday, before heading to London to host Brexit parties on Friday. The EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, on Monday, warned “it is absolutely clear that there will be negative consequences” from Brexit.
